About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Reasonable Goals

I think you bring up a good reminder regarding goals. Unrealistic goals do not mean that there are obstacles, for all challenging & real goals should involve obstacles of some kind. But rather, unrealistic goals are those that have obstacles that are insurmountable. Ryan

Reasonable Goals

Tracy, Some great thoughts throughout here. I especially like your point about the feeling of "I really need to do this" from your core. As you said, if that's not there, you won't stick with it. Ryan

Great points Christine. Knowing motivational techniques is very important, especially when they are balanced with strong interpersonal skills so team members do not feel manipulated. Ryan

The Effective Presenter

I really like the idea of having the materials available on a website for later access. Even if you provide hard copies during the presentation this helps those who might misplace those materials to be able to access at a later time. Ryan
